Notes

Studio recording, 1998. John Rzeznik used the Guild Songbird for the main riff on 'Slide' as part of the 'Dizzy up the Girl' sessions. Amp confirmed as JCM800 2205 for much of the album. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section; tone is primarily acoustic-electric through amp.

Difficulty

The riff requires familiarity with alternate tunings and precise, percussive strumming for clarity, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast playing.
